O God, Who by a Star Did Guide

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: WSH1972 #502 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, who by a star did guide The Wise Men on their way, Until it came and stood beside The place where Jesus lay. 2 Although by stars you do not lead Your servants now below, Your Holy Spirit, when they need, Will show them how to go. 3 As yet we know you but in part, But still we trust your word That blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see the Lord. 4 O Savior, give us then your grace For pure in heart we'd be, That we may see you, face to face, Through all eternity.

Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: WSH1972 #505 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John, Where Christ, the Lamb, does reign, Within whose four-square walls shall come No night, nor need, nor pain, And where the tears are wiped from eyes That shall not weep again! 2 O shame to us who rest content While lust and greed for gain In street and shop and tenement Wring gold from human pain, And bitter lips in blind despair Cry, "Christ has died in vain"! 3 Give us, O God, the strength to build The city that has stood Too long a dream, whose laws are love, Whose ways are brotherhood, And where the sun that shines becomes God's grace for human good. 4 Already in the mind of God That city rises fair. Lo, how its splendor challenges The souls that greatly dare, And bids us seize the whole of life And build its glory there. Amen.

Unending thanks and praises From our glad hearts shall spring; And to your name the service Of all our powers we bring. 3 Love caused your incarnation, Love blessed humanity. Your thirst for our salvation Procured our liberty.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: WSH1972 #511 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary; And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel. Amen. Topics: Christian Year Christmas Scripture: Luke 2:4 Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
